Creative Calling

Creativity is a loom on which we weave the intrinsic essence of our being. We weave our environment, materials and physical body with our passions, idiosyncrasies and emotions. By bringing together all of the threads of who we are we can begin to manifest our creative process through our hands.

Whether you have an existing creative practice you would like to progress or are interested in understanding ways in which you can begin to uncover your creativity, I invite you to explore your abilities with me through my Creative Calling program.

I have personally experienced long periods of dwindling creativity, high times of abundant making and times when I couldn't for the life of me figure out where my creativity went. Creative Calling is my way of sharing my personal journey to a place of unlimited creativity through my creative practice and process.

In my work I value:

Letting my intuition lead the way

Cyclical rather than linear thinking and making

Drawing and whatever that might mean

Exploring any creative avenue and seeing it as valid to my practice

The handmade over the mass produced

Dedication to the evolution of a body of work over an unfixed period of time

Play as a way to discover valuable content and new directions

Email info@oliviajeffries.co.uk to receive your free Creative Calling workbook which takes a look at your thoughts about and experiences of creativity and asks about who you are, what fires you up and what it is that you want to create.

This work is for you if:

You want to begin a creative practice but don't know how or where to start, absolutely no experience is necessary

You're stuck in your current practice and need a different approach to inspire and invigorate you

You want to get to know your creative self intimately

You want to create your own authentic original Art

When you're ready get in touch to arrange a free 30 minute studio visit with me to discuss your findings and see if you would like to work together further.

It takes time to build your personal creative process, we need to start somewhere and that somewhere is right here. To assist you on your creative journey I offer you the opportunity to tune in to your creative abilities through 10 hours of hands on studio time with me (3 x 3 hour sessions plus 1 hour follow up all to be booked within a 3 month period). We will explore creativity through playful, improvised drawing, mixed media and collage work and see where it leads us.

This work will enable you to:

evaluate your thoughts and experiences of creativity

tune in to what makes you tick

create spontaneous work in a range of media

create work that reflects your personality

start thinking about bringing the creative into your everyday life

teach you a cyclical process of making that you can build on and make your own
